Community

CYLAND MediaArtLab is an international initiative bringing together artists, critics, curators, coders, engineers and media activists. This community is open to everyone, wherever they may live or belong, if they are interested in creating and promoting art that meets the level of today’s civilization development. Living in a world of high technologies demands their use in art and requires new understanding of the reality generated by artificial intelligence and incredible flows of information, challenging artists to respond. It is possible to use the technology or resist to them, but one can no longer ignore them dissolving in the aether. And CYLAND unites people who subordinate these high-tech tools to their need.
